No Comment is Free in the Guardian.

'I know of one film director who is - at this very moment - trying to exercise his 'Right to Return'.'

Once more into that Black Hole of Nothingness which is the Graun.

Funnily enough, I had a girlfriend in Poland who was an actress.

Her father was a good friend of Polanski when he lived in Paris. She had the actual bell, she claimed, from Rosemary's Baby which Roman her given her father as a gift for her (knowing she was an aspiring actress).

Nothing more to be said.

I could have added further to the debate but was not given the opportunity.

The Guardian does seem more illiberal than, say, The Indy or The Times, where comments seem to get through. However, I can't see why your comment was removed - my guess is that they've got your number!

No, it isn't the worst. But given its former proud traditions it shouldn't even be the least worst.

Its holding company is plunging into debt. Yet the editor and senior contributors are paid astronomical sums compared to salaries at David Astor's 'Observer' where I did part-time subbing in the 1960s.
